Shattered by this ordeal, family of 17-year-old Tunchanok Donhomla were heartlessly devastated following an Australian national’s indictment, stemming from the Thai teenager’s demise within a luggage bag discarded beside railway lines in the resort of Pattaya.
Thai legal authorities have imposed charges upon Australia-based Simon Peter Carman, age 46, that encompass deliberate killing, dismemberment and discreet discarding of a corpus, mutilating evidence and kid procurement for carnal ends. An attempt to flee Thailand was thwarted with his detainment at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
He could be liable for life detainment or capital punishment for murdering Tunchanok.

Police claimed Tunchanok’s penultimate sighting was on Pattaya beach, when she had crossed paths with Carman then ventured along with him to his abode. Surveillance video footage shows the duo being ushered inside the apartment prior to Carman egressing unaccompanied after a valiant struggle to shift a substantial case.
Days hereafter, Tunchanok was recuperated within the suitcase and it had been deposited close to a railway pathway, sparking an island wide search which resulted in his apprehension at the transit facility. Police stated that Carman acknowledged an exchange transpiring at his dwelling, as well as strangling the teenager, but claimed he lacked the premeditation.
